An historical fiction novel set in St Petersburg in the early 20th Century, George Jachnenev a 17 year old boy and son of a common labourer in the small town of Kashin , steps in front of an assassin’s bullet which was intended for The Tsars Uncle, as a reward For Georgy’s heroism he is favoured with a position as companion to Tsarevich Alexei which changes his life forever.

Extremely well written and while I have read numerous non fiction accounts of this time in history I am always up for a fiction account and have no issue with the author taking liberties with facts to Create a moving and entertaining story as long as the author is sensitive to the time and events in history.

John Boyne has a remarkable way with words and his books are memorable and vivid and I look forward to seeing where his next novel takes me.
